Why is there a decreasing number of American students interested in S.T.E.M.(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related careers each year ? Could it be American students lose enthusiasm by the grades they receive? Or could it be other immigrant students filling in S.T.E.M. related jobs which discourages American students? As time goes by, the U.S. is receiving more immigrants than American S.T.E.M. students.

Maybe students do not get in to S.T.E.M. because of peer pressure or the fear of being too successful. It would be best to consider what is best for their lives instead of taking advice from people who didn't want to be successful because "it's too hard". Well if a S.T.E.M. degree was easy, everybody would have one and it would diminish its value. Also, employers know S.T.E.M. mayors are hard to get, so they admire applicants with S.T.E.M. degrees because they it shows commitment, strong creativity skills, and strong problem solving skills. Especially companies that are always trying to innovate, they love S.T.E.M. majors for their creative new ideas. In short, no matter what the reason people tend to avoid the best majors/jobs one could possible pick just because it seems hard when it really
